This week was interesting for those concerned with Christian ministry. In the interest historical accuracy and illustrative integrity in preaching, Justin Taylor gave us 5 things Martin Luther didn’t say. Russell Moore offered some advice on how to give a eulogy for an non-believer. Pastor Steve Furtick was in the news this week with the focus on his practice of baptism. A local news station covered a story on how he produces spontaneous baptisms, while Christopher Smith wrote on Furtick’s disneyfication of baptism. If you want to hear an explanation from Furtick himself on why he does what he does (and Matt Chandler’s critique) check out this video from the Elephant Room. In contrast to all of that, Joe Thorn gave an interview on how to prepare sermons, and Ray Ortlund shared some advice from Charles Simeon on how to preach with biblical fullness. Finally, for those thinking of studying or preaching through the Psalms, Timothy Raymond posted a list of helpful (free) resources on the Psalms.
